How toManage Diverticular Abscess Not
https://t.me/medicina_free
Amenable toPercutaneous Drainage?
BhuwanGiri andGustavoA.Rubio
Introduction
Patients with acute left sided colonic diverticulitis complicated by abscess can be
managed either medically or surgically depending on presentation and severity of
disease. Abscesses 3cm or greater in patients without generalized peritonitis are
managed with percutaneous drainage, if feasible, in conjunction with antibiotics [1,
2]. In patients who fail medical management, or those that are not amenable to per-
cutaneous drainage, management options include colonic primary resection and
anastomosis (PRA) with or without a diverting loop ileostomy (DLI) or a Hartmann
procedure [1]. Additionally, laparoscopic peritoneal lavage (LPL) with or without
fecal diversion followed by staged colon resection has also been reported [3, 4]. In
patients with Hinchey II diverticulitis treated medically, treatment failure and
abscess recurrence rate is as high as 25% with long term follow up showing lower
recurrence rate with percutaneous drainage compared to antibiotics alone [2, 5].
This is mostly because smaller abscesses are treated medically whereas larger
abscesses tend to be treated with percutaneous drainage. Therefore, percutaneous
drainage is the intervention of choice for simple abscesses with a success rate of
more than 80%. Complex abscesses (loculations, stulas, infected uid collections
with drainage route through viscera) have higher failure rates [6]. Optimal treatment

strategy for diverticular abscesses not amenable to percutaneous drainage remains
debated. In this chapter, we evaluate the various strategies used to treat diverticular
abscesses not amenable to percutaneous drainage in Hinchey Ib/II acute
diverticulitis.

Search Strategy
A Pubmed, EMBASE and Cochrane database search using the terms “Diverticulitis”,
“Diverticular abscess”+“colectomy” “Hinchey I/1”, “Hinchey 2/II” and “ostomy”
was performed. Relevant articles were selected for review. Articles whose main text
was not in English, and articles published more than 20years ago were excluded
from review.
Studies were excluded if they did not specify if patients with Hinchey <2 were
included. Studies that included surgical treatment after failure of medical or percutaneous management were included. Only the most recent study was included if
similar studies from the same institution were encountered. References of the
included studies and the related articles were reviewed to identify additional studies
that were incorporated as appropriate.
Results
Few studies have directly evaluated the best treatment strategy for patients with
acute left sided colonic diverticulitis complicated by abscess not amenable to percutaneous drainage. Only observational studies have been published on this specic
topic. Majority of studies did not specically compare different interventions (e.g.
laparoscopic lavage vs sigmoid resection). Of the studies listed below, majority only
had a subset of patients with Hinchey Ib/II diverticular abscesses. Medical management with antibiotics alone was typically the initial intervention in stable patients
with inaccessible or small (<3cm) diverticular abscesses. Across studies, failure of
nonoperative management with antibiotics alone was 20–25% [2, 7, 8]. In one
study, all patients with abscesses 5cm or greater required either percutaneous drainage or surgery [7]. Of stable patients treated with surgery, indications usually
included failure of non-operative management (either antibiotics alone or percutaneous drainage). Studies also included patients with abscesses treated with surgery
due to generalized purulent peritonitis (Hinchey III). Operations included laparoscopic/open sigmoid resection with primary anastomosis +/− diverting ostomy,

laparoscopic/open Hartmann procedure, or laparoscopic lavage +/− diverting
ostomy. Tartaglia etal. [4] compared laparoscopic lavage (LPL) versus laparoscopic
sigmoid (LS) colectomy in patients with diverticular abscesses failing medical management. Study population included 29% of patients with Hinchey II presentation.
In the LPL group, 18% required reoperation and there was increased rate of long
term recurrence compared with LS group. LS group included 37% Hartmann procedure, 50% primary anastomosis without DLI, and 13% primary anastomosis with
DLI.LS group had an 18% morbidity rate and 74% rate of ostomy reversal [4].
Therefore, authors concluded that laparoscopic lavage carried higher risk of treatment failure, recurrence, and morbidity compared to laparoscopic sigmoid resection. Rosen etal. [7] also reported lower recurrence rate 7% (vs 21%) in patients
who underwent sigmoid resection during index hospitalization. Finally, a single
institution study evaluated management with initial laparoscopic diverting loop
ileostomy followed by staged sigmoid resection and subsequent ileostomy closure
in patients failing medical management or at high operative risk [3]. 6/19 patients
included in the study had evidence of diverticular abscess. There were no initial
treatment failures and majority (84%) of patients had ostomies reversed (Table35.1).

Recommendations Based ontheData
For stable patients with Hinchey Ib/II diverticulitis and small (<3cm) abscesses,
initial nonoperative management with antibiotics alone is treatment of choice
(Quality of evidence: moderate; Strong recommendation)
For stable patients with diverticular abscesses >3cm not amenable to percutaneous
drainage, initial nonoperative management with antibiotics alone can be consid-
ered (Quality of evidence: Low; Strong recommendation)
Patients with diverticular abscesses that fail non-operative management with antibi-
otics alone should undergo sigmoid colectomy (primary anastomosis +/− divert-
ing loop ileostomy or Hartmann procedure) (Quality of evidence: Low; Strong
recommendation)
Minimally-invasive approach to sigmoid resection is preferred (Quality of evidence:
Moderate; Strong recommendation)
Laparoscopic lavage is associated with higher treatment failure and recurrence rates
for patients with diverticular abscess and is generally not recommended (Quality
of evidence: Low; Weak recommendation)
In high operative risk patients, a staged approach with initial laparoscopic diverting
loop ileostomy with interval sigmoid resection and ileostomy closure can be
considered (Quality of evidence: Low, Weak recommendation).
A Personal View oftheData
Patients presenting with left-sided colonic diverticulitis complicated by abscesses
not amenable to percutaneous drainage present a clinical challenge. There are several treatment strategies described for this complex and heterogenous patient population. These include a trial of antibiotics alone, laparoscopic lavage, staged fecal
diversion followed by interval colectomy, and sigmoid resection (laparoscopic/open
Hartmann procedure or primary anastomosis with/without a protective diverting
ostomy). Unlike for patients who present with an indication for immediate operation such as peritonitis, the timing and choice of surgical intervention is not well
studied for stable patients with diverticular abscesses (Hinchey Ib/II). Patients with
small abscesses <3cm are generally successfully managed with antibiotics alone.
Those with larger abscesses not amenable to percutaneous drainage can also be
managed with antibiotics alone initially if they are clinically stable. Clinicians
should be aware of the relatively high failure rate and recurrence rate in this patient
population treated with antibiotics alone [2, 7, 8]. Repeat cross sectional imaging
should be considered in patients treated initially with antibiotics who remain clinically stable but fail to improve after a few days (inability to tolerate enteral feeds,
persistent localized pain). In such instances, percutaneous drainage may become
feasible if abscesses enlarge or a safe window becomes evident.
For patients who fail to improve after a trial of antibiotics alone, surgical intervention is required. Procedure of choice remains unclear and may depend on multiple
patient factors and surgical expertise available. There is more robust data on surgical
management of patients with Hinchey III diverticulitis that may be extrapolated to

those with Hinchey Ib/II [1]. In general, there has been a shift recently towards utilization of both minimally invasive techniques and of primary anastomosis with/without protective stoma. Primary anastomosis with/without protective stoma offers
several advantages including lower overall morbidity and signicantly higher long
term stoma free rates [9, 10]. In these settings, minimally invasive approaches have
been shown to be safe and offer additional advantages with lower overall morbidity
[11]. In the setting of stable Hinchey Ib/II patients that failed antibiotic therapy and
require surgery, laparoscopic sigmoid resection with primary anastomosis should be
strongly considered when feasible and expertise is available. Hartmann procedure
also remains a safe and effective operation for patients with left sided colonic diverticulitis, particularly in hemodynamically unstable patients or those otherwise high
risk for anastomotic failure such as those that are immunocompromised. Surgical
expertise plays an important role in decision to perform a Hartmann procedure versus primary anastomosis. Another option that has been studied in patients with
Hinchey II and Hinchey III diverticulitis is laparoscopic lavage. Enthusiasm for this
approach has recently waned with recent studies primarily including Hinchey III
patients showing higher rates of treatment failure, recurrence, and need for secondary procedures compared to sigmoid resection [12]. Similar results were reported in
one study that included a subset of patients with Hinchey II diverticulitis [4].
Therefore, there is insufcient evidence currently to widely recommend laparoscopic
lavage for patients with diverticular abscess not amenable to percutaneous drainage.
There may be a role for this less invasive approach in a subset of patients that needs
to be further elucidated with additional studies.
There is also insufcient data to support staged resections in patients with
Hinchey II diverticulitis consisting of initial diverting loop ileostomy followed by
interval sigmoid resection and subsequent ileostomy closure. Although these three
staged resections were commonly done in the past for more severe fulminant diverticulitis, perioperative mortality was found to be higher in these patients [13].
However, recently this approach has been reported to be safe and associated with
favorable long term outcomes including high rates of stoma closure [3]. There may
be a subset of patients that may benet from this approach, such as those with signicant perioperative risk factors during index hospitalization. Future studies are
needed to determine which patients, if any, would most benet from this approach.
In summary, there is limited, low quality, evidence evaluating optimal management of patients with diverticular abscess not amenable to percutaneous drainage.
Based on these data, we recommend sigmoid resection and primary anastomosis
with/without protective ileostomy or a Hartman procedure, depending on local
expertise and patient factors. The role of laparoscopic lavage or initial fecal diversion alone in these patients requires further study.

Introduction
The prevalence of acute diverticulitis has been increasing in Western nations. A
recent 2016 prospective study found 42% of patients on screening colonoscopy had
diverticulosis [1, 2] and progression to diverticulitis has been estimated at 10–25%
[3]. Historically, surgical management options for patients presenting with acute
complicated diverticulitis have included a 3-stage operative approach proposed by
Rankin and Brown (diverting colostomy with drainage, segmental colectomy,
colostomy reversal) [4], the 2-stage Hartmann’s procedure (segmental colectomy
with end colostomy, colostomy reversal) [5], segmental colectomy (with consideration for diverting loop ileostomy, on-table colonic lavage, and laparoscopic
lavage) [6].
The current practice has shifted to more frequently performing segmental colectomy with diverting loop ileostomy over the more traditional Hartmann’s procedure. The primary reasons for this culture shift include higher reversal rates and
less technically challenging ostomy reversal with primary anastomosis with proximal diversion. The most recent set of American Society of Colon and Rectal
Surgery guidelines for treatment of left-sided diverticulitis discuss emergency
surgery for acute diverticulitis. They recommend urgent sigmoid colectomy for
patients who have diffuse peritonitis and that restoration of bowel continuity
